CFITSIO failure on windows

[Robert Lancaster]

Hi, based on the response from Johnny Jazeix, that Jasem forwarded to me (since apparently I wasn’t signed up for ode-windows and didn’t realize it), I was able to figure out this issue.

The problem is that cfitsio depends upon lib curl, and on mingw, lib curl apparently defines tbyte so there is a conflict.  If lib curl is not installed it complains about that, so I had installed it which caused the build error.  I found this online based on what Johnny said.  In there also was the solution, if zlib is installed apparently it doesn’t need lib curl.  So I removed lib curl, installed zlib and cfitsio built fine!

Thank you very much!

When I was setting it up, following the instructions on this page, https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows <https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows>, I ran into an error I did not expect.  There was a build error for CFITSIO.  I didn’t expect that because CFITSIO is a very commonly used package and it is a requirement for Kstars which I know is built by craft on both windows and Mac very often.  So I don’t see why CFITSIO would have an error, since I thought that package was already working very well.  So I figure there must be something wrong with the way I set things up, or with some craft settings maybe?
